That would mean a lot more early risers for the folks in the Disney International Program. I already feel bad enough for the lucky Norweigans who get to operate Frozen. Maybe it'll be such a nightmare that they won't even bother with the cultural representation thing and just have seasoned cast members work it...it's not like it's set in the real world anyway.

That's actually a very good idea. They could market it as "Have you got your Frozen FP+? Then why not come into worldshowcase early for a fun filled breakfast right near the new attraction"

...What? Frozen is inspired by norway and arendelle is a fictional country. While the millions of interviews, ads, and specials stating where this movie got it's inspiration from is going to let people know where to look the ride won't be displaying any of that info. If the attraction was a Frozen guide through Norway I wouldn't be as hesitant, but it's not. It's purely a Frozen attraction without any of the other context letting guests know that this film takes cues from Norway.
Unlike all the specials, interviews, and statements the company has said in order for people to get that this film was placed in Norway. The ride unlike the one before it won't give you any more info, or contextual information about the real country. That's a problem. You can like Frozen and dislike what is happening here. And my use of the stave church was an example to how the World Showcase works in order to get you to seek information, a claim to which you denied. I don't know why you are so salty about this but I would recommend a more reasonable attitude before people just start hitting ignore on you.

I can't tell if your truly asking lol or being sarcastic, yes the ride will be frozen but the rest will retain Norwegian. Im sensing a new initiative even for more Norwegian such as all the new merch they just rolled out. Hoping it leads to more.

I commented on this a few posts back with a review, but found it to be a huge positive. They removed the princess stuff entirely which needed to get out of there, and put the frozen stuff in the back room which I thought was a good move. All the rest is now fully themed Norwegian merch through all the other rooms, with brand new lines of items and branded Norway world showcase merch now in those spaces. They did a great job in terms of selection and design. It felt renewed with a good layout, and a renewed sense of Norway...But to each their own.

great shots, thanks, also a lot of roof work going on right on top of the show building.

Sarcastic for the most part. So many people swore up and yes, down, that they were basically removing all things Norway. Glad to see they were wrong.

gotcha, it could have gone that route, for awhile was looking like it was. But thank Mangum and some others for seeing that it didn't.

Oddly enough, removing actual cultural and historical content and replacing it with sweaters is the definition of anti-intellectualism.

What they should of done is, instead of a Frozen ride, did a spiritual sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean called Vikings of the Baltic. I really do hope though that they add something educational about Norway in it instead of just Let It Go over and over and over.

They're not. Disney has even said it is not a ride about Norway. Nor does 'Norway,' 'Norwegian' or any other such variety of such terms get used to describe the changes and expansion.

The intent of my post was to provide an observation from our recent trip. When compared to China, Japan and the United Kingdom, the Puffin's Roost feels more sparse.
I am more aware of space and fixtures because I push my Mom in her wheelchair. When visiting the various shops, I make note of the locations that uphold the 3' ADA compliance regulation. The Puffin's Roost was easily maneuvered with a standard wheelchair because it has ample space.

So the Imagination Pavilion must still include Dreamfinder as a major character, right?

Well I think the very fact that the ride is in the Norway pavilion will at least pique the interest of some (kids & adults) to wonder about Norway. Since it appears to have "something" to do with their beloved tale of 2 sisters. I mean even if Disney doesn't come out and talk about the inspiration they based the film on, at least placement alone will do it.
Edit: Just trying to think positive here, not defending the location where Disney is placing this attraction.
